Montpellier... and unexpected adventure!! We were unable to get a connecting train straight to Barcelona, so instead of spending another day in Nice or Barcelona, we had to settle for Montpellier.

The lady at the train station hooked us up with a "cheap" two star hotel, and she really talked up the town as a college town, with young people, and a great night life. All we really wanted to do was make sure we had a place close to the train station because we had an early train.

After we got off the train, and found a map, we started walking. An hour later we found our hotel, next to the airport. No where near the college. Or anything else for that matter. The only perk of the stay there was the HUGE grocery store... with a hot food section!!!! We went crazy at the store, and an hour later we feasted on roasted chicken and chips-n-salsa!! YUM!! Even though the side trip was a pain in the butt... we did have our own room, our own beds, and a shower and toilet all to ourselves!!
